After many controversies and a very rocky start which ended up with being pulled down from Steam store page, Dark and Darker came back to let players explore its gloomy caverns and dungeons once more. The game is available to buy again, though this time it hasn’t made its comeback to Steam and has to be purchased from other sources. Though the game is multiplayer focused featuring PvPvE gameplay, it is possible to play it solo. If despite the dangers you would like to go alone, here you would find the tips how to do it effectively and what is the best class to do so.

The best class to play solo in Dark and Darker

The first choice for playing Dark and Darker alone is Cleric. Here are some tips on how to play it:

1. Use Bless, Protection, and drink Ale. This will grant you additional +11 strength.
2. For offense use Smite. The spell scales with Will statistics so using gear that compliments it will help a lot and provide substantial damage output.
3. Equip yourself with plate / Templar armour which will mitigate severity of incoming attacks.

Not only those steps will allow you to survive playing against NPC, but also make it easier to fend off enemy players.

If you do not feel like venturing down the caves as a Cleric, the other alternative is to choose Fighter. This is the most balanced class with good protection allowing you to take on some hits. This choice will also let you test and use a lot of weapons and armours.

General tips for playing alone in Dark and Darker

1. Learn maps. Having knowledge where to go and what you can expect will make your situational awareness better.
2. Pay attention to monsters’ behaviour and attack patterns. This will allow you to “kite” (repeatedly distancing yourself from the enemies and getting closer for a hit when the time is right) them effectively and make it easier to avoid hits.
3. Try to bait enemies to hit themselves. By going for such strategy not only it will be safer for you but also speed up cleaning the caves. It will be especially useful if you decide to use long weapon like spear or halberd.
4. Dying is part of learning process. The beginnings are always the most difficult. In time you will understand more about the game and its mechanics. Brace yourself and be patient.
5. Run when overwhelmed. Don’t try to be a hero. Since you are playing alone, there is no one to help you. It’s better to disengage from a fight than tyring to take a fight with low winning odds.
6. Avoid more difficult rooms. It is not necessary to clean out the whole map. If you feel that you are not sufficiently equipped to clear particular room, skip it.
7. Focus on levelling up classes. Again, beginnings are the most difficult. Some classes begin to shine after level 5 or even higher. Take your time to experiment.

Equipped with all the knowledge you gathered here, go on and delve deep into the nooks and crannies of Dark and Darker. Good luck!
